A monoatomic gas at a pressure p, having a volume V expands isothermally to a volume 16 V. The final pressure of the is (take straight gamma space equals space 5 over 3),

  • 64 p

  • 32 p

  • straight p over 64
  • 16 p

Solution

C.

straight p over 64

For isothermal expansion,
pV = p' x 2 V [because space straight V apostrophe space equals space 2 straight V]
p' = p/2
For adiabatic expansion,
pv to the power of straight nu space equals space constant

straight p apostrophe straight v apostrophe to the power of straight nu space equals space straight p apostrophe apostrophe straight V apostrophe apostrophe to the power of straight nu
